Grimcutty : L'Enfer des réseaux

From the beginning this movie is just not good. From the scene of the gurl whispering while making a video to the very end the movie is just painful.

I can only assume that it was trying to be some big meaningful movie that taught someone a lesson about something but it just doesn't work.

None of the characters are believable, none and I do mean none of the acting is good. The script is ridiculous and the delivery is between wooden and plastic.

The story itself doesn't make any sense and is not fully explained. Characters are unlikable and do things no person would ever do.

The "Creature" design is terrible and the effects were barely passable.

I was reminded in parts of "Death Note" and "The Babadook" so I'm guessing the writer has seen those movies but paid no attention to what made them work.

I can't recommend this movie at all. It deserves the low rating and hopefully will vanish quickly.

I did not watch the trailer for this movie and went off the main synopsis, so I went into this movie blind. After watching Grimcutty (2022) I can say it was an interesting horror movie, but it was not great.

The main idea of the movie was good, and I liked the idea it went into of how kids or teens can be affected by digital media. The Grimcutty meme or challenge in the movie shows how dumb challenges or memes online cannot be good for kids and/or teens.

The design of the Grimcutty monster was a little creepy but I also laughed at it because I thought it looked silly. The effects on it were hard to tell if it was CGI, someone in a suit, or a mixture of both.

The acting is not great and some of the performances can be over the top when they are trying to act chaotic. There are also scenes that I thought were not needed or were not used right, while also sometimes not having much of an explanation.

Grimcutty (2022) was not that good, but it did have some promising ideas. They just needed better acting and not take something silly looking too serious.

I don't know if this was some millennial attempt at being modern and hip to old boring same-ol-same-ol horror tropes. To their credit, it was well mad cinematicly, the writing didn't hurt, and the acting wasn't as bad as most horror films of this nature. The narration being done in ASMR knocked off most of the stars from my rating. It was like Chinese water torture on my ears. I had to mute the tv and read the subtitles at one point. It was so distracting trying to remember most of the rest of the movie when it ended in a "dramatic" monologue addressed to the audience and their parents. All in ASMR whispering and finger rubbing. I just couldn't.

I wish IMDB had a way to rate a movie in more ways than one.

For instance, this movie, as a horror, gets a 3. And that's me being generous.

If however, I could rate it as a comedy, I'd give it a 7.

The way Hollywood producers are going about things nowadays, I'm pretty sure they'd like this option as well. Anything for better reviews, right boys?

Its just a mess full of stereotypes, miscasting, and poor production all around.

I'm glad that the people who worked on it were able to make a living while doing so. At least the cast and crew being able to pay their bills for a few months/weeks are some good that came out of this.

I had to laugh at this premise, yeah he is creepy looking but I'm a horror buff on all kinds of scary movies so maybe I'm desensitized more than the average.

But I'll say here that the writing the dialogue was pretty bad and it kind of jumps out at you. I like Shannon Sossaman in the movies she's grown up playing a mom here, but even she couldn't save the movie.

It wasn't so much the Grimcutty character I mean he was well done and with another better script it could have been decent, along the lines of Lights Out or The Boy along those lines but this one was silliness to me. Kind of insulting.
